Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1411 Reentry Spiritual Practice ([-])
Early the next morning, Chen Yuannan hurriedly knocked on Pang Xiaonan's door.

"No, something happened. Liu Rushi and Sima Ting were detained."

Chen Yuannan looked a little anxious, and Pang Xiaonan suddenly became sober.

"What's going on?" Pang Xiaonan was also anxious. If something happened to Sima Ting, they wouldn't be able to stay in the spiritual world any longer.

Chen Yuannan told Pang Xiaonan that early this morning, a spy from Qingfeng Building came back to pass the news that Liu Rushi and Sima Ting were detained by the rebels in Xiaolei Mansion next door.

"The rebels in Xiaolei Mansion?" Pang Xiaonan immediately felt that the problem was more serious.

Pang Xiaonan immediately followed Chen Yuannan to meet the spy.

The spy looked flustered, and said to Pang Xiaonan: "The landlord took the prime minister's daughter to play around, and I have been following nearby, but just when they crossed the boundary of Qingfeng Tower and went to Xiaolei City, the capital of Xiaolei Mansion, they were caught by a group of people. The guy got caught..."

"Damn it, since you followed them, how could you stand by and let them be arrested?"

Pang Xiaonan was a little annoyed, he was afraid of his teammates if not his opponents.

"My lord, I can't help it. There are so many people on the other side, I'm sure I can't beat them. It won't help if I insist on saving them. I just want to follow them and wait for the opportunity to act. How can I know that this group of people is not easy. , They went all the way through, hit Xiaolei City, and occupied the City Lord's Mansion..."

The spy's voice was a little trembling, and he seemed a little scared of what he had seen and heard.

"Who are they?" Chen Yuannan's concern was beyond words.

"Shopkeeper, I only found out their identities after many investigations. They are a troop stationed in the mountainous area of ​​Xiaolei Mansion. The leader is called Lei Xibao. This troop is stationed for the stability of the southern border of Sente State. Yes, but recently the Xiaolei Mansion has been deducting their military rations and salaries, so Lei Xibao led the crowd to rebel."

"Rebellion is rebellion, why did you arrest Liu Rushi and Sima Ting?" Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that his luck was really bad, and he would do whatever he was afraid of.

"I don't know about that, maybe it just hit the muzzle of the gun..." The spy replied weakly.

Pang Xiaonan looked at Chen Yuannan: "What should I do?"

"What else can I do, I can only go to the rescue." Chen Yuannan swung the spies back, pacing up and down in the room.

"Rescue, what's the rescue method?" Pang Xiaonan thought that they were regular troops anyway, even if they didn't have advanced weapons, but since they were troops guarding the frontier and they were placed near the Falling Soul Abyss, they must be strong, even if Pang Xiaonan It's definitely not easier than fighting the Warcraft army.

Chen Yuannan and Pang Xiaonan wanted to go together, they just went through a big battle, and now their vitality has not recovered, it is impossible to rescue the two women intact in the crowd of thousands of troops.

"We should join forces with the government and army." Chen Yuannan believed that the most urgent task is to find the government where the Qingfeng Building is located, and make a long-term plan.

"Okay then, let's set off immediately." The location of Qingfenglou is Yashan Mansion, and the capital, Yashan City, is about 200 kilometers away from Qingfenglou.

"Okay, I'll go with you." After speaking, Chen Yuannan was about to leave.

"No, President Chen, you stay and guard the Qingfeng Building, and Li Yisi and I can go." Pang Xiaonan felt that we still had to keep someone in the Qingfeng Building to organize work, "Maybe Liu Rushi escaped back at that time, and we can't find him." You can't."

"Alright then," Chen Yuannan agreed after thinking about it, "You are an imperial envoy, the magistrate should listen to you, so I will stay in Qingfenglou to be your backing."

Pang Xiaonan went upstairs to wake up Li Yisi, and told him the general situation.

"How do we go? Wearing the Vajra Mecha?" Li Yisi thought that he might have to fight the army again this time, but his armor was already in tatters.

"Put it on!" Pang Xiaonan thought for a while, "Chairman Chen's Vajra Mecha and Zhao Sijiajia's Vajra Mecha are not damaged, so we will take their equipment and set off."

So, Pang Xiaonan and Li Yisi put on the Vajra Mecha and flew towards Yashan City with all their strength.

When the prefect of Yashan learned that the imperial envoy had arrived, he hurried out to greet him. Pang Xiaonan gave the seal to the prefect to check, and the prefect immediately knelt down: "Your humble official welcomes you!"

"Get up and talk." Pang Xiaonan helped the magistrate up, and asked anxiously, "Do you know that the garrison of Xiaolei's mansion mutinied?"

"My lord, I just received the news. This place is thousands of miles away from the capital of Xiaolei Mansion, and the letter from Feige has just been delivered."

"Let me ask you, how strong is the rebel army in Xiaolei Mansion?" Pang Xiaonan was brought into the house by the prefect, and sat down in the first seat.

"My lord, the rebels in Xiaolei Mansion can be said to be one of the strongest armies in the region apart from the garrison of the capital. It is easy to take down any capital city. The guards of Yashan City are in front of them. Just like a motley crew..."

"Then do you know why they rebelled?"

"This……"

"What is this? Don't you know anything about it?"

"My lord, it's not that I don't know about the humble position, but this matter is indeed justifiable."

"What do you mean by extenuating circumstances? It's extenuating circumstances that forced the Southern Xinjiang garrison to rebel?"

Pang Xiaonan was furious. In history, military mutinies were mostly forced. As long as life is decent, who wants to live with his head on the edge of a knife.

Seeing that Pang Xiaonan's face was not very good-looking, the magistrate was so frightened that he bowed again and again, "My lord, the small ones should be damned, the small ones should be damned, let me tell you all."

It turns out that this rebel army is the well-known Lei family army of the Sente country. The Lei family has been stationed in the southern border of the Sente country for generations. The Lei family's army threw down their heads and sprinkled their blood, defending the first and last line of defense of Sente Kingdom.

Once the monster breaks through the millions of mountains guarded by the Lei family army, the entire Sente country will be devastated.

It was precisely because of the perseverance of the Lei family army that the monsters couldn't find a way to break through, so they could only retreat to the Falling Soul Abyss. Later, for some reason, the changes in the climate and environment made the monsters in the Falling Soul Abyss no longer willing to come out In the past few hundred years, the Sente Kingdom and the Falling Soul Abyss have lived in peace.

But this does not mean that Warcraft will never be able to get out of the Falling Soul Abyss, so the existence of the Lei Family Army is still very necessary.

However, the place where the Lei family army was stationed was a rocky mountain where not a single blade of grass grew. Apart from being nourished by some spring water, there was almost no food source, so the Lei family army relied on local support for a long time.

For a long time, the source of military supplies for the Lei Family Army has been directly allocated by the court of the Sente Kingdom, but they are transferred through the Xiaolei Mansion. During the transfer process, the Xiaolei Mansion will also extract some so-called losses as local benefits.

The Lei family army generally turns a blind eye to this kind of routine. The army understands when there are difficulties in the local area. After all, the army and the people are a family.

But this year's situation is special. Xiaolei Mansion has suffered from severe drought and pests that have not happened in a century. Most of the farmland has no harvest. Due to the long-term preparations of the imperial court, the treasury is not sufficient, and the support is limited.

Historically, no matter how difficult the country is, Lei’s army’s supplies have never been discounted, so the Lei’s army’s wool was only collected in the past. Long Genshi, the newly appointed magistrate of Xiaolei’s prefect this year, decided to make a good whole sheep supply. repair.

It didn't matter that this supplementation directly angered Lei Xibao, the current general of the Lei family army. When the negotiation failed, Lei Xibao decisively raised his troops and killed the capital of Xiaolei Mansion.

Along the way, no one dared to stop the Lei family's army, a team that even monsters could not defeat, naturally ran rampant in Xiaolei's mansion, and the defenders of Xiaolei city also surrendered directly. Lei Xibao quickly led his team to occupy the city lord's mansion. Long Gen was imprisoned.

"Why is this Long Genshi so blind to offend Lei's army?" Pang Xiaonan was very curious, how dare the local parent officials go against the military region.

"This can't be blamed on Long Zhifu..."

"You are the official guard, do you know that?"

"My lord, calm down, Long Genshi really has nothing to do. Due to the famine, there have been many cases of theft and murder in Xiaolei Mansion. If this continues, Xiaolei Mansion will starve to death. As soon as the army rations arrive, Long Genshi will take the food for relief. He didn't get any benefits from it himself."

"How do you know that?"

"Our Yashan Mansion and Xiaolei Mansion are separated by a strip of water. We usually have a lot of contacts. The Longzhi Mansion once asked me for help. It's just that I dare not go beyond my authority to handle this important matter of the people's livelihood. After all, the imperial court ordered it to be resolved by the local government."

"Then aren't you willing to die?"

"My lord, I bought relief food out of my own pocket and gave it to Long Zhifu, but how dare I make decisions about the food in this granary?"

"It seems that you are still a good officer?"

"I don't dare to call myself a good official in a humble position, but I must do my job well."

"Okay, I won't pursue the previous matter, what do you think now?"

Pang Xiaonan knew that Wen Quanwei, the magistrate of Yashan Mansion, was not a flamboyant person, and he could tell at a glance when he came in.

"I don't know why your lord appeared in the southern border?" Wen Quanwei asked tremblingly, because the imperial envoy arrived just after the mutiny happened, did the court have noticed it?

If this is the case, then he, the magistrate, will be the end, because as a matter in his own place, the local official does not know about it, and instead, the court takes a step ahead. This is a serious dereliction of duty.

"I'm here for a private matter, and it just happened to happen." Pang Xiaonan didn't hide anything.

"So that's how it is." Wen Quanwei was relieved at this point, thinking that the court didn't know about the mutiny yet.

"Don't be silly, have you thought of a solution?" Pang Xiaonan knew that the magistrate must have more ideas than himself.

"My lord, for the present plan, the only thing we can do is to persuade the Lei family army to surrender. Originally, this is not a big deal, it's just that the local government has embezzled military supplies, and the Lei family army has strict discipline wherever they go, and they will do nothing to the people. It’s just a demonstration in the capital.”

"You said it lightly, the Lei family army dared to invade the capital today, and dared to invade the capital tomorrow. This is not something you can vindicate for them with a single sentence."

Although Pang Xiaonan is just a fake official, he also knows a little bit about officialdom. If these soldiers are spared today, they will definitely make progress in the future. The government takes it seriously.

"My lord, subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest principle of war. The Lei family's army is nothing more than wanting fairness. They have taken no action in occupying Xiaolei City for a long time, just waiting for the court to give an attitude, and Long Genshi is not doing it right now. There is no risk of life, I think it is better for us to make big things into small things."

Wen Quanwei is worthy of being an evergreen tree in the officialdom, and he sees problems very comprehensively.

"Tell me, why did you make it a trivial matter?" Pang Xiaonan narrowed his eyes, his official experience was naturally not as good as Wen Quanwei's, and he wanted to hear the old man's good advice.

"My lord, this Lei family army is the trump card army guarding the land of monsters, and its combat power should not be underestimated. Although no monsters have invaded in recent years, the daily training of the Lei family army is planned training for monsters. Local forces are no match for them at all."

Wen Quanwei said generously: "Even if we want to take down the Lei family army by force, we will pay a very high price. Go for a strong attack, maybe they will fight each other to the death, and then both sides will suffer, and the imperial court will suffer heavy losses."

"Oh? Keep talking..." Pang Xiaonan leaned over, leaning his arms on the coffee table, listening quietly to Wen Quanwei's analysis.

"Think about it carefully, my lord. If the Lei family army and the main force of the Wang division fight, and both sides suffer heavy losses, who will win in the end?"

Wen Quanwei knows how to be kind and persuasive.

"You mean, the Sainz Congress in the north took advantage of the situation? Also, there is no restriction on the demonic beasts that fell into the abyss of souls?"

Pang Xiaonan is so smart, Wen Quanwei has been around for a while, and he understands the power of it.

"Your Excellency has great wisdom. The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, but the profit is our old enemy. When the time comes, the people in the country will be devastated, and the country will be destroyed..."

Wen Quanwei's voice was full of emotion, and what he was talking about was spit flying.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite far-sighted."

Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but praise Wen Quanwei, this local official is still worried about national affairs, he must have a bright future in the future.

"Your Excellency is absurd. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. As a parent official in a humble position, it is natural to think about it in the long run."

"Then if the king's division is not used, is there any local army that can compete with the Lei family's army?"

Pang Xiaonan still didn't want to bypass Lei's army easily, after all Lei Xibao hijacked Liu Rushi and Sima Ting.

Luckily, Liu Rushi said that Lei Xibao dared to hijack the Prime Minister's daughter, if it got to Sima Ji's ears, it would be strange if he didn't send his troops south.

Although Lei Xibao might not know Sima Ting, who would believe it?You, Lei Xibao, wanted to grab it, but you actually snatched it from the prime minister's head, and it was a woman who was about to marry Tan Wang, no one would let it go.

Seeing Wen Quanwei thinking there, Pang Xiaonan clicked and said, "Is King Tan's army far from here?"

"King Tan?" Wen Quanwei was stunned for a moment, "My lord, King Tan's army is only a thousand miles away from here. From a national perspective, it doesn't look far away, but it is still far away to solve the current predicament. Thirsty."

Wen Quanwei lowered his voice again, leaned closer to Pang Xiaonan and said, "Even if King Tan's troops can be transferred, he can't beat Lei's army."

"Is King Tan's army so weak?" Pang Xiaonan was curious, shouldn't the prince's army also belong to the ace army?

"It's not that you can't win, it's that you can't win..."

"Prince Tan is the prince of the local area. If the local armed forces can defeat the imperial court's border guards, do you know what it means?"

"It means that King Tan is preparing to rebel."

"Your Excellency, so even if King Tan's army can fight the Lei family's army, he will never dare to win."

"Oh, what time is this, and these powerful political relationships have to be taken into account!"

Pang Xiaonan completely lost his affection for the officialdom.

"If you have to transfer local troops to deal with the Lei family army, you can only transfer the troops from Wuxian Town."

Wen Quanwei gave another option.

"The troops in Wuxian Town? Are the troops in Wuxian Town very powerful?" Pang Xiaonan didn't meet the local garrison when he went to Wuxianzong last time.

"My lord, Wuxian Town is named after Wuxianzong, a great school there. Wuxianzong itself has some martial arts masters who can guard the local law and order. The court has always been appeasing to Wuxianzong. Generally speaking, Wuxianzong Xianzhen is under the jurisdiction of Wuxianzong, but..."

"But what happened?" Pang Xiaonan looked at Wen Quanwei with some hesitation, knowing that there must be a story in it, he became interested, because Wuxianzong is now under his jurisdiction.

"However, the geographical location of Wuxianzong is very important. It is located at the junction of Mengster Country and Falling Soul Yuan. It can be called the thoroughfare of the Three Kingdoms. Whoever controls Wuxian Town will control the strategic location."

"You mean, Wuxianzong doesn't have enough strength to control Wuxian Town?"

"Actually, it was okay before, because there was no conflict between Mengster Country and Falling Soul Abyss, and the borders of the three countries have always been relatively peaceful, but a few decades ago, for some reason, every few years, Mengster Country Let's have a conflict with Falling Soul Abyss. It doesn't matter if they conflict, the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond, and these low-level creatures will always plunder Wuxian Town along with it."

"That is to say, at this time, Wuxianzong has no way to defend Wuxian Town?"

"At this time, even self-protection is a problem for Wuxianzong. After all, the fighting power of those low-level creatures is amazing, and adults don't know. Wuxianzong is not a particularly big sect in the spiritual world. There is only one true saint. , Therefore, their strength appears to be very weak during times of turmoil."

"So the imperial court must send a powerful force to help Wuxianzong defend Wuxian Town, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, my lord, don't you know?" Wen Quanwei looked at Pang Xiaonan suspiciously, and soon he realized that he had said something wrong, how could he question the imperial envoy? "I'm sorry, my lord lives in seclusion. Of course, my lord doesn't know about these mountain rumors. It's normal."

Wen Quanwei immediately brought the topic to the past, "The army stationed by the imperial court is not as famous as the Lei family army, but its combat effectiveness is absolutely nothing to say, at least, it will not be weaker than the Lei family army, because it has to fight against monsters and orcs at the same time. Terrorist opponents must be confident enough to deal with."

"Wuxian Town seems not far from here, right?" Pang Xiaonan recalled the location of Wuxian Town, it seemed to be not far to the southeast of Yashan City, not far from Qingfeng Tower.

"It's not far."

"Since it's not far away, why didn't you transfer over here? It's under your jurisdiction, right?"

"Humble officials have no right to mobilize these border guards, but they can ask for help."

"Then hurry up and ask for help, just say my order."

"My lord, I should stick to that principle. Subduing others without fighting is the best policy. Besides, if the army from Wuxian Town comes to a duel with the Lei family's army, isn't the southern border of our Sente country in jeopardy?"

"Hi!" Pang Xiaonan slammed his fist on the table, after all, Lei Jiajun couldn't move, "I still don't believe that this Lei Jiajun is so neglected?"

"My lord, we can't be brave for a while now. The Lei family army is used to arrogance, and this situation will happen, but we can't fight against them right now. We must first resolve this crisis, and then we will find a way to seize Lei Xibao's military power. "

Pang Xiaonan looked at Wen Quanwei and found that this guy was very similar to the treacherous officials in history, killing people invisible.

However, in the critical autumn of this country's survival, Wen Quanwei's plan is undoubtedly the most cost-effective and safest.

"Then tell me, how do you negotiate with Lei Jiajun?"

After all, the only move is peace talks. Besides, when he reported the situation to the court, Sima Ji knew that it was Pang Xiaonan who lost Sima Ting.

Moreover, Pang Xiaonan still had a fluke mentality. What if Lei Xibao hadn't recognized Sima Ting as the prime minister's daughter?

Sima Ting must not declare her family name herself!Pang Xiaonan prayed silently in his heart.

If Lei Xibao knew Sima Ting's identity, he would gain more leverage, and the price of the peace talks would be even greater.

"My lord, according to my humble position, we can use the name of your lord to appease the Lei family army first, before the Lei family army knows that your lord is in Yashan City."

"What kind of ambush method?"

"Let's just say that the imperial court has already known about this matter, and it attaches great importance to it, and sent an imperial envoy to deal with this matter. I hope that the Lei family army will be safe and calm, and the imperial court will definitely give a satisfactory answer."

"Aren't you deceiving the emperor?" Pang Xiaonan almost spit out a mouthful of water. What Wen Quanwei said was simple, but the crime was all on Pang Xiaonan's head.

When the court blames it, it will be a question whether Pang Xiaonan's head can be kept.

"My lord, the general's orders are not accepted. You just happened to appear at the place where the incident happened. This is the destiny. This is the Lord sent by the heavens to solve the country's major problems. Besides, if the Lei family's army is emotionally fluctuating at this time, what will happen?" , things will change, and it will be too late..."

"My lord, think about the tens of thousands of people in Xiaolei Mansion..."

When the two armies fought, it was the common people who suffered. Wen Quanwei was right about this.

"For the sake of your sympathy and love for the people, then I will do as you say..." Pang Xiaonan looked at Li Yisi, who had been silent all this time, "What do you think?"

"Master Wen is thoughtful, you should listen to him." Li Yisi is also a person who understands the suffering of people's livelihood.

"Okay, I'll just say this to you. I'll go to Xiaolei City, but you have to accompany me!" Pang Xiaonan thought that there would be more guarantees for more people. After all, the opponent is the main force against the army of monsters. If you tie yourself up, you may not be able to escape at that time.

"My lord, I think it's better to surrender first. If the other party refuses to surrender, it would be bad if you are captured."

Wen Quanwei revealed his plan: Pang Xiaonan went to Xiaolei City first, told his intention of coming, and then looked at the reaction of the Lei family army. If the Lei family army was willing to surrender, then Pang Xiaonan would enter the city again. If he is willing to surrender, it will not be too late for Pang Xiaonan to organize an army attack.

"Didn't you say it's not appropriate to fight?" Pang Xiaonan was somewhat suspicious of Wen Quanwei's back-and-forth attitude.

"Engagement is a last resort, but we must be fully prepared."

It seems that Wen Quanwei still has a big picture.

"You have to have a condition for surrendering, right? Since they have occupied the city, they must have something to ask for. As an imperial envoy, I don't have anything in hand. How can I negotiate conditions with others?"

Pang Xiaonan felt that he had no idea. If he was the chief general of the Lei family army, he would not be so stupid, he surrendered as soon as he said it.

"My lord, so we should first discuss a condition for surrender, lest the Lei family army treat you as nothing."

"Then tell me, what conditions are we prepared for?"

"Lei's army occupied Xiaolei City because the military supplies were embezzled by Long Zhifu. First of all, you have to promise Lei's army that all the rations and salaries withheld will be returned..."

"You speak lightly, where can I get these military supplies for them? Do you have them here? Can you give them to me?"

"No matter where you go to get it, the current plan is to stabilize the morale of the army first. As for the later things, let's take it easy..."

"Then you asked me to write a bad check?"

"What's a bad check?"

"Oh, it's just that the lion opened his mouth and refused to admit it afterwards."

"It's not that I don't accept the account, it's that the account will arrive later."

"How long will it be, who will come?"

"Of course, my lord, you have to ask the imperial court for it."

"Damn it, why has it all become my business."

"My lord, in this situation, you can only work too hard. Even if the court doesn't give you the real thing, it's okay to give you the right to transfer it. You can transfer it from me. I guarantee that there will be nothing wrong."

"Then you give it to me now, I don't panic if I have food in my hand."

"Then the nature has changed. My lord, you only need to go to the imperial court to obtain a transfer right. The surrounding state capitals all have surplus food, and they dare not refuse to give it."

"Can you give it to me first, I will go to the court to ask for an order and then give it to you."

"My lord, this is not in compliance with the rules. If this is the case, I'm afraid that the head of the humble job will be lost."

"Tell me about you, you are the one who asks me to do special things, and you are the one who sticks to the rules. I think you are just an old fritter."

"My lord, your official position is respected. You don't know the difficulties of our little officials. I work hard every day, fearing that I will make mistakes on important issues, but you are different. No matter how big the problem is, it will be a little rain for you... ..."

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me, can't I go?"
